new in opengl
Author
Hi
I''m tryng to learn programming in opengl, but i''m unable to compile any programs that use the gl.h...
I get a bunch of errors, 102 when i compile.., any ideias?
I''m using opengl95.exe drivers , is this the correct one?
thanks
Bruno
Are you using MSVC++? If so, you have to add OpenGL32.lib or something like that to the Project Settings box.

Under Windows you generally have to include before the OpenGL headers. This is pretty stupid (blame Microsoft) but alas.
Tss, GMCBay, if you think including is stupid, what language are you using??

I generally use C/C++.
My post doesn't make as much sense as I intended because the forum software ate up my references to <windows.h> because I didn't escape the <> symbols, doh!
What I meant to say is that its stupid that you have to include <windows.h> before <gl/gl.h>.
since <gl/gl.h> uses Windows-specific datatypes and OpenGL is not Windows-specific.
Not doing so complicates crossplatform OpenGL code. Of course, the complication is very slightly, but its still there and was easy enough for Microsoft to have avoided that its annoying.

Hmm yeah that''s a point.
The same goes for stdafx.h sometimes - it Undefines all of your macros for some weird reason, can lead to highly unpleasant and hard to find errors.
